Judith Tunnel Trail

Given the fact that the Judith Tunnel accessible trail is paved, it seemed a good choice for a hike that included our one year old. I am glad we chose it. If you are looking for a challenging hike, then this is not it. If, however, you are looking for a nice stroll with beautiful views, look no further.

If you are visiting Phoenix don't miss the views from South Mountain Park. If you don't mind driving on a narrow mountain road this is absolutely worth the drive. The only real choice is whether to go up for day viewing or night viewing as both are spectacular. This park is basically the same park I remembered from the 60's and 70's.

I'm a local in Phoenix so I visit South Mountain every few weeks. I usually hike Holbert Trail which starts at the main entrance (Central Ave) and you make a left turn right after the gate. It is a moderately difficult trail that is steep and it took me a hour the first time to climb up. But now it takes me 30-40 minutes to climb up and 15-20 to get down. There is a trail extension that leads up to Dobbins Lookout which has amazing views of the city.

For non-hikers who still want to get a nice view, you can drive up to Dobbins Lookout. The main entrance is a Central Avenue, take south and keep going. There are signs that will help lead the way. I'd be wary of driving up on Sundays as they sometimes close the roads on Sundays for cyclists. Be sure to check Phoenix gov website for schedules.

I highly recommend anyone visiting Phoenix to go up and see the views!
